How to hide Admin account on welcome screen

Thanks, but I really do want to hide the Admin account, even if it is
simply a different account with admin privileges.

So the original question is still open.

Is it possible to hide accounts from the welcome screen?

Thanks again.

1 is Show and 0 is hide.
Accounts have default behaviour, So you add Administrator and set it to 1 to show the admin account (cos it's hidden by default on correctly configured machines). Add a normal user and set to 0 to hide a normal user because they show by default.
